About

I am a pragmatic software engineer with 20+ years of experience, passionate about simplicity, operational and engineering excellence, DevOps, distributed systems and computer science. I am also a teacher and mentor at heart, which allows me to connect with software engineers, managers and tech product leaders of all levels of experience, helping them to grow, learn, and achieve their career goals.

I started coding in GW-BASIC with an 8086 when I was 13 years old (yes, I’m old, I’ve seen a lot). This initial experience made me realize that I wanted to stay around computers as much as I could. All this eventually led to college (Systems Engineering/Computer Science) which led to a long and fulfilling career as software developer engineer, teacher, and mentor.

My journey includes starting my own software engineering companies in Venezuela (and making a living of them for seven plus years), a five-year detour teaching Computer Science related courses at a notable Venezuelan university, and seven plus years at Amazon AWS as a Principal Engineer.

Demian is a world-class level Software Engineer with a lot of experience. His background in both academia and the tech industry gives him a unique ability to break down complex concepts into digestible lessons. His teaching experience, combined with his deep technical expertise, makes him an exceptional mentor. I've had the pleasure of working closely with Demian on technical interviews, where his guidance has been transformative. Whether it's through mock interviews or his insightful feedback, Demian's experience in Big Tech has provided me with a perspective that's difficult to find elsewhere. His detailed feedback has sharpened my skills in both coding and system design interviews, and I've noticed significant improvement in my ability to tackle challenging problems. I have been working closely with Demian for technical interviews and it has been a great experience. Doing mock interviews a getting feedback from someone that worked at Big Tech is something that is priceless. Thanks to Demian now I'm much better at coding interviews and system design interviews!. Demian doesn’t just teach you how to pass an interview; he helps you develop a long-term mindset of excellence in software engineering. I'm extremely grateful for all the knowledge and advice he’s shared with me

Applying his guidance directly contributed to my career growth, resulting in well-deserved promotions. I'm grateful for the impactful mentorship from Mr. Demian, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mentor who genuinely cares about your success.
